Rationale

The restriction on Recall was reviewed and subsequently removed in 2003 for the Type 1 and Type 1.5 formats. This change was based on the observation that the card was no longer frequently used in single copies, and that improvements in methods for retrieving cards from the graveyard had reduced its overall impact on the game environment.
